EMR conference

The impacts of artificial Electromagnetic Radiations on wildlife (flora and fauna)

What do we know?

What are the knowledge gaps?

EKLIPSE organised a web conference from Monday 22nd of January to Thursday 25th of January 2018.

EKLIPSE invited a wide range of experts from different disciplines to discuss the current knowledge on the effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) on wildlife. The aim was to highlight the current state of the art in this field, to identify knowledge gaps related to the impacts on different taxonomic groups, to discuss the technical aspects and methodologies used in current studies, and to identify and prioritize key research needs and policy recommendations.
